- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มิ.ย. 2018
- Today, I take you through my naturally curly hair journey + transformation and share with you what it was really like growing up with big curly hair by showing my curly hair transformation throughout the years.
Growing up as a girl with big, frizzy, curly hair was definitely not easy. It has been a lifelong natural journey, and now I have the experience and knowledge to share with all of you.
I hope this video inspires you to start or continue your journey, reminds you to put down the hot tools and gives you some encouragement to embrace your curls! (and maybe give you a good laugh too)
And I’ll just leave this here;

Alright, well first I'd like to say your videos give me life LOL. Your humour definitely makes your videos enjoyable to watch and your detail and explanation of things are SUPER helpful. So yea, LOVE THAT! (just as everyone else who commented can agree). My hair is 2c/3a curl, or whatever it decides to be, you know mind of its own. I've had my share of bad haircuts, like just straight chopping it without any knowledge on curly hair, which led me to constantly where my hair up or slicked back with that bed head gel LOL (i can relate) or dippity do da day. Never liked to cut my hair so for a while my hair was longg with zero volume, but like you i got super annoyed with it. After watching many videos/tutorials/etc etc etc..I started to finally embrace the curl with all it had to offer. Long story short, I cut it much shorter than I would've ever wanted to in the past. Now I am on the hunt for some GOOD natural product. I've tried so much shit it's not even funny, there was a few that stuck around but I definitely think I can do better. Never knew aveda even had a curly line until I found you, SO THANK YOU, now I'm just dying to try it so my curls can be on pointttt like yours *hair flip*. Also, I think I need to visit you for a haircut. ANYWAYS. This ended up being way longer than planned. Love your work, can't wait for more. THANK YOU. Keep killing the curl game girrrrl.
Thank you Selina for taking the time to write this comment!! I love reading comments like these!! It’s truly amazing to look back at the mistakes we have made during our hair journeys!! Thankfully now we have the resources and experience to know better LOL but we still learn each and everyday. If you end up not wining the giveaway and are looking for a new natural product to try I would definitely give Aveda’s Be Curly line a look. I have been using their products for 2 years now and I love them. Thanks again for your comment and see you tomorrow with a new video 😘😝❤️
I've latched on to Fructis Curl Butter as my go to product. Just thought I would share. I can not stand hair products and this is the only one I use after shampoo and conditioner. It extends the drying process, but at least the curls look ok. I wear my curls in a short bob.
Shout out to all the curlies who had to go through that dreadful stage of your mum brushing your hair dry 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂
lmao
The pain was immense but when she brushes those small hairs at the back im dead inside 😢
Yup, no one in my family had a look and they still make suggestions... Hahaha
And then forced you to sit still and let the French braiding commence ... Hell on Earth with thick curly hair and being tender headed!
I would literally scream my head off. And sometimes it would take an hour to untangle my hair😭😭
I cant cope with how you say "bald" so funny.
SAME, I was like what is she saying????
same i had to think about it lmao
Is that a Canadian thing? Lol
@@412mystic Definitely not hahah
hari shabad kaur it’s not! I’m Canadian and we say “bawld”, but when I think about it.... bald actually makes more sense, but I would NEVER SAY IT 😆
Seeing your own first haircut .... clearly you were meant to be a stylist. Talent !
Thank you! I did it and after i really though to myself "shit, i should make a living out of this" lol and here we are! thanks for watching!
Raise your hand if your mama ever got a round brush stuck in your hair! 🙌🏼🙌🏼😂
🙋♀️
🙋🤦Many times 😆
🙋🏾♀️
I got it stuck in my own hair. We had to cut that part of my hair, it was so stuck.
Katrina B 🤣
Mell, dark hair makes your green eyes pop! You're beautiful either way, but with dark hair your eyes are WOWZA!
Adorable
You killed me with the throw back pics😂😂😂 remind me of my own pics from my curly childhood past..thanks!
Haha we have all been there! I get u girl
you look great both blonde and brunette but i absolutely adore you as a brunette
Yes! Brings out her eyes.
I agree. But I will also like to say if she stays blonde I'm fine with that.
Pausing the video to say Mell looks BOMB AS FUUUUUUU with short brown hair!!!
So I need to put my daughter in therapy now because, like your mom, I have been doing the ULTIMATE SIN... yes, I have been DRY BRUSHING 😱 but thanks to you, I am in hair rehab and am now on our way to recovery
thank you 🙏🏻 for doing these videos.
I'm in my thirties and I've met a lot of women and hair dressers who fight the curls by straightening them. I really appreciate you encouraging us the curly ones to go all natural. You're very inspiring and also funny. I love your videos and love to win. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Love
Thank you for listening to my story! It's all about the curls. They're there for a reason we shouldn't feel we have to fight them away! Embrace those curls girl! xo
You're really lucky that you didn't went through the "straightening your hair" phase
literally i would have everyone said “omg ur hair looks so good straight” but im too lazy
Right? 🤣😂😭
Omg I did that!!!
From 14 to 20 years old Ive had this phase. Awful. Just awful.
I just started truly transition 6 months ago. I straightened my hair for about 6 years.
Came for the curls, stayed for the girl!! You are hilarious and I look forward to each new video. Thanks for showing us your transformation and showing us it's possible to achieve the ultimate curl! ❤
Thank you Lindsay!! I’m so happy you enjoyed my story, although growing up was tough I’m glad I stuck to believing in my curls. Thanks for watching and good luck at the give away ❤️❤️❤️😍😍
I too went thru the “dry brush” and headband phase!
My mom has naturally straight hair so I feel you on the brushing dry hair. She had no idea of the trauma she was inducing. I remember her yelling at me to brush my hair in high school, but like any self respecting teenager, I refused to listen. I love your videos so much, I shared with my curly bff and we just send your videos back and forth to each other. So informative and entertaining at the same time.
Wow- I just found your channel 3 or 4 days ago and finally, at 47, I was able to style my curls so that they were uniform and gorgeous. Seriously everyone who has seen me since ( I used your finger coiling technique and correct diffusing) has said something positive about it. Thank you SO MUCH!
Congrats!! I'm on my hair journey now too, wish me luck! :)
Your natural hair color is beautiful!!!
Maybe I'm just biased but I LOVE your natural hair color!!! Brunette love 😍 Also, can you teach us how you cut your hair diy?!?
Your beautiful as a blonde but mesmerizing as a brunette🔥
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who had an ugly pony tail phase.
Me too. 😭
I had it from age 7-12 😬
Absolutely
lmao I had one too. but my friend at the time had one too, so I didn't feel so bad 😂
I feel so identified with your story. Bald, blonde then brunette and a mom and a dad that discover the best way to tame my hair was in two braids with no products😂
Don’t forget the brush
“Back when my mom used to brush my hair dry...” lolol sooo relatable. Only, my older sister was given hair duty for the only curly haired child in the family...me. My older sister had long, straight hair. Imagine letting a 13 year old girl do your hair...now imagine she also has straight hair. 😭😭😭
I get my curly hair from my dad, and he cuts his short, so you cant even tell it's curly. My older sister kind of has wavy/frizzy hair, but has never really tried to care for it, so is also inexperienced in this relm. My hair used to be strait, then it went wavy, now it's curly, and I've got NO idea how to care for it, and it's a frizzy, dead mess lol. It's really annoying tho
I adore your bright personality. Thank you for bringing your experiences to TH-cam!
Hey Nikki! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words. 😍See you on Tuesday (and every Tuesday) with another new video and thank you again for the support xo
Literally binged your vids throughout the last 2 days! And I have learned so much more than I have in the last 2 years of watching YT. My first day of following your advice and my curls already look more defined and less frizzy! Thank you! You’re awesome! Stay happy and healthy!
Yessssss! Embrace your curls!!! Love this
I went through a very similar journey. I’m 47 now and I’m just figuring it out thanks to your videos. You are amazing and I am now a true fan
Love watching your videos ! Has taken me 56 yrs to embrace my curls. You have helped me to get there. Thanks Mel!
Your video lowkey made me emotional in the end 😭
I love your personality!
There’s so much energy in our hair that we tie to ourselves, it’s very liberating to embrace the natural look of it 💜
I just came across your vlog and OH MY WORD you’re awesome. My hair was super straight when I was a kid. When I hit puberty life changed and so did my hair. I had no clue what was going on. It was the late 70s early 80s so curly hair products were few and far between. Not even my, who was a cosmetologist, knew what to do with my mane. So I decided I needed to chop it and do the white girl mullet (not a pretty look). Of course I let that grow out but I still didn’t know what I was dealing with. In my mid-20s I decided to embrace my mane and looked for every the moisturized. Leave in conditioner was my friend. Now in my 50s there are all these wonderful curly girl products and vlogs, like yours, to help a gal along. I’m still very youthful looking so I love rocking my curls and continue to learn the best way to tame the mane. Love you pr vlogs. Keep up the great work. 💕
It's so nice to see you haven't changed a bit through the years, I love your videos so much ❤️❤️
You are the FIRST person I feel I can relate to soft hair but I’m mixed with literally everything! I do not have your typical hair color or texture and over the years it’s changed. Omg you’re helping me come out of my hairpocaypse era!!! I love your perspective!!
So inspiring, oh my being a kid in the 90s with curly hair was such a real struggle. Living a hair lie, avoiding water, and trying to hide my curls from the world was my life. Wish I could say it stoped young however Until this week, I was still straightening my hair everyday. I found you, it's been three hard but freeing days. You inspire me so much, your beautiful curls inspire me. I am going to try to learn as much as I can and I hope to come out in the end of this curly journey finally happy in my own HAIRS!
Amazing!! Love you and your perspective on life and curls!!!
I just found you and everything you recommend works so well for me! You saved my hair! I can’t thank you enough!!!
Oh my goodness, girl, I love you. I've been on a bit of a curl trip for about two years now. When I was in highschool I was fed up with my awful hair, no one in my family has curls and my hair was so damaged from heat treatments because I just could not wear it naturally with all the bullshit my parents and I put it through. So I just got a buzz cut. After simmering with the regret of that decision (short hair does not flatter my face) I stopped caring altogether, but low and behold as my hair grew out, natural, and virgin, my twirly locks looked bomb as fuck and I learned to embrace my curls. Since then I've been slowly growing it out more and more and blindly feeling my way through how to best take care of it. Your channel is a life changer, it's taking my curls from a solid eight to a ten, and I will forever be grateful. I'm on a curly girl journey now to realize the long princess hair I've always wanted, and it's coming along faster than ever thanks to you. Keep making content,
Sincerely,
A Formerly Frizzy Curly Girl
I‘m so thankful I found you. Thank you so much for your videos♥️
Thank you for sharing your journey in this video. I can totally relate. I was also bald until age 3, so my mom dressed me in pink and people still thought I was a boy. When my hair got longer we didn't know what to do so my mom also brushed my hair dry each morning (ouch!) and pulled it into a ponytail. Then in high school, college, and after college, I was all about flat-ironing/blowing out my hair as straight as possible because I thought it looked better. Finally last fall I decided enough was enough because my hair was starting to fall out from all the damage. I'm still transitioning but already have seen significant improvement after a couple cuts/trims and following advice such as yours about products and techniques. Now my hair is back to a 3a/3b pattern and is thickening up again. Your videos are so helpful. I can't believe how long I've lived with curly hair while having no clue how to care for it properly!!!!
I love my mom to death, but she has had straight hair her whole life, and didn't knew what to do with my head...so she did, what she normally did to her hair (brush dry, and used a round brush to try and get it tamed)
For so many years I just thought I had fluffy and frizzy hair (you know, the dreaded pyramid hair)...I'm 26, and just learning what to do with my hair, and truth be told, my hair's loving me every time more and more
Thank you for sharing with us all your tips on how to start our curly hair journey. Your videos are one of a kind, they make me laugh all the time. Love your curls!!
thank you so much!!! sharing is caring :)
Wow wow wow... Soooo motivating!!!! I’ve found you by chance by googling how to restore damaged curls. After watching many curly hair influencers, your vids struck me as the most honest and quite frankly, most entertaining. You are real and funny and to an overworked new mom of twins, a breath of fresh air. I will continue to watch your videos, starting with the oldest and hopefully, I’ll pick up enough curl knowledge to turn this frizzy mop into a luscious curly mane. Thanks for the awesome content!
AWW you make me want to cry! I can feel the passion from you! I love your content! keep up the good work :)
Its crazy how evertones hair journey is different! I was also a bald baby lol until I was about two as well but my hair came out straight and by the time I was three, girl, there was no turning back,it was curly! It was a shock for me too and when I hit my teens is when I started straightening it and that was ny everyday routine...about 5 years ago, I made a commitment to myself to enter my curl journey and have been taking care of my hair and simply embracing it, and essentially who I am, an dits been amazing-my hair is healthy!Then this year I stumbled upon your channel a few months ago and I have to say thank you! You have been such a great person to learn everything hair from and simply a fresh of breath air to watch. I have grown and learned more about hair since watching you. Please keep doing more videos and vlogs and reaching out and informing all curly hair heads how to care and love on their “hairs” lol thanks Mel!
Oh I LOVE those dark hair pics of you in your teens! ❤️ This was so cool to see you over the years.
Awesome video!! Thanks for sharing your journey and such a blessing! You are hilarious and love watching your videos!
I love this video. So real and inspirational. I’ve just started my curly hair journey and loving your vids. Thanks you for you. 💕
OMG I wish I was closer to you! I'd have you fix my cut! LOVE love love your hair right now! And I love how you have such a good attitude! Please keep them coming
Absolutely love watching you you are entertaining and full of great information I’ve started my curly journey On February 1 and it has been up and down up and down but I will not give up and I will figure out my hair and I appreciate so much the curly girl community
Thanks to your vids, I have finally found a successful defusing technique for my curls🙌🏻 Keep them coming please💛
YES diffusing is the bomb once you get the hang of it! so glad to hear that thanks for watching!!
You are amazing! Thank you for all you have done for us curly curls. I too was bald for 2 years then became a curly girl. Mom didn't know what to do, neither did I so I succumbed to a pony tail. Ugh! After m any, many, many experiments (BM before Mel) I figured out what works for me. AM after Mel, I have learned how to properly wash, style, diffuse and sleep with a bonnet! I cannot thank you, and Amanda enough for all your help. Thanks for sharing your journey. After all these years it feels good to know I wasn't the only bald baby with Velcro hairclips! 💜
I love this!!!! You're definitely an inspiration. I'm glad I'm learning from one of the best in the curly world! So adorable 😍
You and your seester remind me and my sister. From the hair types to how you both got into hair, see I damaged my hair soooooo bad during middle school while my little seester she took care of her hair , mine got so damaged people stopped believing me when I told them I was born with curly hair. Now my little has BEAUTIFUL 3c curls and I am slowly but surly transitioning. She’s helped me a lot but I started watching your videos cause I knew I couldn’t JUST rely on what she told me, I had to learn to take care of my own hair. So thankyooooouu. My curly hair transformation has started!
You are gorgeous! Love your videos! It has allowed me to not only laugh and smile with you but, also embrace my natural curls after straightening it forever!
I love seeing your archives of wonderful pictures!! ❤🦋🦊
Just found your videos....AMAZING. I've been binge watching. I love your videos.
I used to have beautiful curly hair as a child but now my hair is crying out for some TLC. I came across your channel while battling with my fizzy hair and have taken some pointers form you. I am going to start loving and caring for my hair. Thank you for helping to guide me on my curly hair journey! 💕
Love your videos so much! Glad but sad I just stumbled across this one a bit late. Congrats to whoever won the products! ❤️
Very encouraging & inspiring for girls with very curly hair. After a lifetime of blow drying & straightening my hair finally , I am trying to come to terms with embracing my natural hair. Since I am at least double your age, I still struggle with Not feeling as attractive with my Natural hair. I hope that someday all girls will embrace their natural hair and have great self esteem. Thank you for your contribution by sharing all your experience and valuable information.
I just found your channel today and I love it. Thank you for all the amazing hair advice.
Thank you for making videos you made me realize that I’m not the only one with crazy hair and someone finally gets it 🙏🏻
i started using curly hair products about 9 months ago and my hair has never looked this good :) seriously like i am having tons of compliments everyday all thanks to curly youtubers like you
This video was like a replay of my own life. Literally. We even look similar. Same skin color, green eyes and same exact hair. I had natural blonde in my hair from age 3-10 too. I'm so glad I found your videos. Thank you!
Literally the best hair stylist ever! You've changed my life as a curly girl! xoxo
you make me a better stylist!! thank you always for trusting me with your hair and supporting my videos xoxoxo
Mell! Your TH-cam channel helps me so much! Thank you so much!
awww mellllll... this is so cute to watch now!!!! you've helped so so many!!!
I love you so much !! Once I started watching your channel I’ve been motivated to take better care of my hair . I have a lonnnnng Journey! I just want my curls back . You have all the answers and I just love that your helping curl head girls like us because it’s a struggle >.< .. I’m also going to be going to school for cosmetology and just hearing what you did inspire me even more . Thanks for the tips girl it’s highly appreciate (:
You're such a beautiful soul! Loved this video 😊🙌🏻
I felt so identified with your curly childhood 🤣🤣 love your videos Mell, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!!♥️
That first haircut though😥😍😍😍 definitely your calling!
Oh, the pics of you with that first haircut! Gorgeous! I love the brunette hair
Thank you so much for changing careers and sharing what you've learnt. 🥰😘
Thank you for sharing your curly hair journey and for encouraging us to embrace our curls. I've always loved my curls. My curlies sprouted when I was around a year old. My hair has been straighted maybe 3 times in my life. Eh I'd rather rock the curls! My mom would spray no more tangles from Johnson and Johnson in my hair, brush it, and call it a day. I had beautiful ringlets! 6th grade came and my hair got frizzy. So so frizzy. I started using product in 7th grade. I've been watching so many videos and looking for tips on how to get the best from my curls. I'm hooked on your videos! I love your personality and your gorgeous hair! ♥️
.......shocked!!! That's my hair journey too!! Word for word, even the change from blonde to brunette....thank you for sharing
I really want to thank you because I learn so much about styling curly hair from you even if I have a totally different curl pattern. You are so professional, knowledgeable and beautiful, even during your pre-teenage years 😁
I love your videos so much! Your personality is so perfect! I have been searching for the right curly girl with the same texture as me and I’m so thankful I found you! You help me better my hair every week!!
Yay!! Curl twins 😍😍 lucky for you I have a whole bunch more coming so stay tuned and thanks for watching xoxo
I just turned 30 and because of you I'm finally getting my curls back and better than they have ever been. So thanks for that 🥰
This is totally relatable for me! I am just now really diving into this curly hair thing. Ive never know. What to do with my curls and neither did my mom! But now that I have my own daughter (13 months) I want to be able to have my own healthy curls and show her how to as well if she has curly hair as well. She is still “bald” kind of but what hair she does have if let alone and not brushed starts to curl up! So glad I found your channel!!
you are sooo funny!! i just discovered your channel and i love it!!
❤️you definitely found your calling!!! So interesting that I went through the same childhood hair trauma
I can relate so hard to the terrible brushing and trying to keep my curly hair flat. It was only after high school that I really started to let my natural curls out and fell in love with them. I'm still learning and your videos are an amazing help to learning and understanding (and for laughing). Thank you Mell
It has taken me 50 years to find you. My mum also dry brushed my hair till my scalp bled. Not to mention the headaches from my heavy hair. It’s been short, long and for years I had a terrible short on top long at the back bowl style cut. I’ve tried all the so called experts, given away a fortune trying to find the right products but never did until I found your you tube channel. Very humorous you make my day. You have made such a difference to my life. I thank you for your work for the curly girls. Everywhere I go, I’m now complimented on my hair. You gave me hope to keep the search on finding the right product. Mine is “Eleven” from Australia I think and Olaplex. It’s amazing. I no longer wash every day to escape the friz just once every week or so.
My problem is that I’m now older and not sure I should keep my hair so long.
Aaww bless! You've always been a cutie ❤ thanks for such a cool video Mell. Keep 'em coming 😊😊
She is hilarious! PS I love the pic of your first self- haircut- and you as a brunette is GORGEOUS!!!!♥️
Best hair journey video i’ve ever seen you have a great personality 😍
I am so glad I stumbled upon your TH-cam channel. First off I love your sense of humor and you have given me courage to put my story out there to also help other curly haired beauties like you and I. I unfortunately was like you and was born bald, then blonde curls came but my parents did the unthinkable...they always cut my hair off at my chin and blew my hair dry and used a brush to straighten it. In fact my dad always chopped off my hair and kept it chin length because they didn’t know how to deal with the curl and frizz. In fact he dragged me kicking, screaming and crying after I had managed to grow my hair out past my shoulders (all one length which was horrible and I dried it straight cause it was the only thing my mom had shown me how to do (which made it frizzy and brittle) and cut it in short half inch layers from my forehead to my chin. I didn’t know I had naturally curly hair until I went on a band trip without my parents to Florida and had just showered and gotten ready for a concert and was getting all sorts of compliments and comments on it to the sort of “hey I like your perm” which was all the rage and I had wanted curly hair like spirals for ages. I looked at them all confused and said “ummmm first off my mom would never let me get a perm and my hair is straight so what are y’all smoking” and then I walked past a mirror and looked at my chin length hair in shock. It was ringlets. I had no idea what had caused my hair to spring up into curls but it was a head full. I figured out later it was the humidity. Since then I have been on my own natural hair journey and have been frustrated to the point of screaming to finally asking every person I saw with curls how they did it. I stockpiled tons of useful info from the age of 17 forward like diffusers and curl cream, mousse, gel, and leave in conditioner and started to grow my hair out. Now my hair is a mixture of ringlets and curls like your sisters is. And it’s finally long. I stopped washing it daily I would say when I was in my mid twenties cause I learned that I was drying it out too much. That helped a lot and it became healthy and shiny curls but getting the right cut and style was next on my list. I learned layers were good. And my hair went from blonde to dark like you but instead of being brunette I became a mousy reddish blonde on top of my head and auburn underneath. I helped it transition cause I was two toned for a while but finally went a full light auburn and it’s stayed that way except it’s now getting a few silvers and that mousy reddish blonde on top in the summer. But now it gets so tangled underneath like yours does. I liked your videos on how to wash, condition, use the right products and de tangle and so forth. I have been asked how I diffuse and when I watched your video I learned I was doing most things right but the scrunching and bouncing while drying with a diffuser was where I was wrong as well as doing it from the roots up. But here’s where I think I saved a lot of my curls from looking entirely bad which had gotten me compliments but also makes my styling and drying times so long ...I keep wetting the ends on my hair until the roots are dry. So I’m going to try your method of product application and also drying from the roots and see if that shortens my drying time (I know it will) and also keeps my hair from frizzing on like day 2 after washing it. Anyway, a huge fan already and can’t wait to see more. Plus I love the bloopers and the product links. How do you get paid to endorse products? I had numerous ones I would love to promote for a help in the financial area but also because they are good products. Any tips on keeping my hair from frizzing after I braid it while it’s wet and let it dry? My hair frizzes when I undo it but I want the curl I see straight or wavy haired girls get when they braid while wet and let dry and undo it for curls.
Mell I’m ready to harness the curl! Absolutely love the videos, keep em’ coming!! ❤️❤️
Yas Kristin!! Thank you for your comment AND THANK YOU for wanting to harness your curls and embrace your natural beauty! Xoxo
Favorite curly hair specialist forsure
Your short, dark, curly hair is just 😍😍
This was the best curly hair journey I ever seen!
You are the best discovery with Cassandra Bankson! You both have been game changers for me! Sending you love ❤️❤️❤️
Omg when you started to talk about how you used to put your hair up in a pony tail that wasn’t flattering for your face shape, I FREAKIN RELATE! I’m a natural, curly bernette, and I wore my hair like that for 3 years! So glad I’ve discovered your Chanel and quit that.😂 I’m in middle school.💕
You’re curls are amazing! I myself am 26 and kinda JUST starting my journey. I know, crazy. But I have crazy curly hair that’s gotten a lot longer. But I’m experiencing problems and I’m totally intrigued of the products you use !
I love your Story!! I too have very curly hair....I have always embraced it...never straightened...I'm 47...and I Love my Hair....took many years for me to admit that....your Story is so embracing....you are so inspiring ..love all your videos. Thank you for sharing..xo
I'm so excited about this giveaway!! I stopped straightening my hair this year after deciding to put some effort into finally figuring my curls out and your channel helped me out so much, I would still be lost and clueless if it weren't for you 😁❤ Keep up the good work!
I haven’t genuinely laughed this hard in a long time! You are so creative!
growing up i always had tight 3b hair. it not only was a tight curl pattern but it was extremely frizzy and dry because my parents had no idea how to care for my hair. it wasnt just my parents either, my whole family NEVER knew how to care for my hair. no one in my family had hair like mine. i am 20 years old today and let me tell you that i’ve been through the brushing your hair dry phase, heat damage phase, and just simply the phase of absolutely hating my hair because it wasn’t pin straight and long like every other girl in schools was. i did not know how to properly care for my hair until i was 17 years old ... crazy right? i went through my whole life and was never taught or shown anything to help me. let me just say though, discovering the curly hair world on youtube and actually being able to go to a store and see all these curl products is amazing. i’m so happy I invested my time into loving my hair because today, i wouldn’t trade my 3a/3b curls for the world 🤎
Your hair is beautiful
I have the exact type of hair like yours
I have been watching all your videos and I think you are giving us the best technique on how to style curly hair
❤
OMG...I went through the same thing except my mom’s solution was to shave my hair! And I was called “Puddle Head” in school. I started hating my hair. I did everything to get rid of it from relaxing to Japanese hair straightning and I still have curly hair except I have different pattern of curls.
I just discovered your videos last week and tried it. Wow! THANK YOU! You are amazing and I wished I saw your videos sooner before I could hate/damage my hair. THANK YOU and now love my curls!!! Muah!!!💚💛💜💙
I just want to say GO GIRL!! You are an inspiration. You are beautiful, funny and intelligent. Love from the UK xx
Your short brunette hair is so gorgeous! I love it!
I know this was a million years ago (or one. It was one.😂), but i have started to embrace my curly hair... I wore it curly all the time when i was younger and it was BEAUTIFUL. ltierally looked the exact same as yours as a kid, and the exact same way yours looks now. My mom never let me straighten it. Then i went to collage, and i straightened it. That’s as 14 years ago. I have spent the majority of the last 14 years straightening and coloring my naturally curly hair (I colored it brunette though... so at least thats some small consolation to the damage lol). My hair is super thin and super fine and the pics of you after you chopped your hair off are GORGEOUS. I LOVE IT. I have been using Curlsmith and trying to get my hair back beautiful again the last 3-4 days and watching this video desperately made me want to keep trying. I honestly felt like giving up this afternoon. But i know theres damage and i know if i just chill out and give it time to heal, I’ll be good. I’m 32 and STILL trying to embrace my natural curls! Thank you so much for inspiring me! Off to watch more of your videos!
Love your hair thanks for all the tips and advice!
